47 is the preliminary course (Arena Fast Time Bonus Paid On)
46 Course will be used as the finals course
Here’s how it works!
Each
division is limited to 16 contestants (Mens and Ladies divisions at
Limited, Pro-limited, and Pro. One division would look like this---16
contestants eliminate to 8 with the fastest 8 advancing. On the next
round 8 contestants eliminate to 4 with the fastest 4 advancing.
Finally 4 contestants eliminate to 2 advancing to Wahl Shoot Out.
These
three elimination rounds will result in two contestants left standing.
Both of these contestants are guaranteed great checks! ( two average
checks for a 1 for 8 payback). The Final two simply have to determine
which will receive the biggest check and that will require a Shoot-Out
in front of the Thunder EquiGames crowd.
So what about those Shooters that didn’t make it?
We
have several other ways for them to make money, namely three fast time
overall checks in each division, fast overall Senior check in each
division, and two nice Bonus Team checks. Lets do the math----
including the two shoot-out checks in each division—96 total
contestants, 39 total checks, $20,000 added equates to 115 percent of
your entry fees paid back. We just can’t give you back more than that
unless your pointing the pistol at us!
About the Fast time overall checks!
For
starters the two shooters advancing to the Thunder EquiGames Shoot-Out
are not eligible for these checks. We guarantee everyone a minimum of
two full runs at the fast time overall money. So if you were unlucky
enough to get eliminated in your first round, don’t worry, right then
and there we give you another run at the course to see if you can win
one of the fast time checks. No matter which round you get eliminated
from, all of your times count toward those three fast overall checks in
your division!
What about the Team Bonus?
This is an added feature this year. When you enter the Divisional Shoot-Outs you are automatically entered in the Team Bonus two times. The computer will draw each contestant two partners whose combined handicaps do not exceed 9. There will be no gender divisions in the draw. The draw will occur during the cocktail party on Wednesday night December 2nd.
Winners will be determined by combining the fastest time from each partner in the team. There will be a time handicap as follows : #9 team straight time, #8 team 1 seconds off, #7 team 2 seconds off, #6 and below – 3 seconds off. The exact payoff will be announced one month prior to the event.
